EA Play was EA Access (PC, PS, Xbox) - Coming to GamePass

It's £20 a year and you get 10 hours freeplay on new releases. Lots of stuff in the Vault that works like GamePass (except I don't think they've ever removed anything). 

 

Before GamePass when my kids played FIFA every year it was an absolute bargain.  I think it still is really good value but have let mine lapse as I get more than enough games to play with GamePass.

They've removed a few things - Rory McIlroy PGA Tour, FIFA 14 and NHL 15 have all been delisted. They're very much the exceptions though.

 

licencing, probably.

Yeah, it's certainly licensing, and the two team sports have been long superceded - if you wanted to play them you could get them for a few quid somewhere anyway. Rory McIlroy was an oddity at the time because it lasted only a couple of years on the service.

I’ve still got pga tour, they delisted but if you had it they don’t remove the licence as long as you’re sub’d to game pass.

 

 

Given this is more a Netflix than a PS Plus type service, that's great to hear.

So this comes to PS4 in July. Without backwards compatibility support on PS4, (how) will the Vault work?

 

It’ll just have PS4 games in it. Which was your favourite FIFA game?

I’ve been trying to find a list of games they are going to release, if it is just PS4 games then it’s meh!

Worse, it's just EA games :P

 

Given the notable decline in quality of EA's output this generation (exceptions like Titanfall 2 are relatively rare and that game can be had for 4 / 5 quid every other sale or so), is EA Access still worth it right now?

If it allows me to play Dead Space on PS4, yes.

If Dead Space is available on PS4 it's probably far cheaper to just buy it instead of giving EA money each month to have unlimited access to such gems as Anthem, Need for Speed Payback, and FIFA Ultimate Gambling Edition 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 ;)

I scrapped it. I was paying £20 a year and after the initial burst of Plants vs Zombies and NFS I just used it to play battlefield 4. Ended up buying that digital for about £3 in a sale so got rid of access.

 

It's good if you're an EA fan or want to have a raz through their games once, but Tbh i'd get a single year and then not renew it.

I'm letting mine expire as I so rarely use it - probably about a month of FIFA when whichever version hits, and then the occasional game I dip into. Most of the stuff on the service though, I've never played, so I expect I'll either pick up a short term subscription or just find the relevant game on the cheap when I do want to play one of them.

 

I've had the sub for four years, so that's £80. In that time I've played each FIFA, plus Battlefield Bad Company, Mirror's Edge Catalyst, and a spot of NHL 17. That's not entirely terrible value, but if I just subbed for the months I was playing, I'd probably only have spent about half that. Still cheaper than buying the games, though.

Yeah, I let mine expire as well. I bought the Mass Effect and Dead Space trilogies for less than a year's membership and realised there was nothing else I was interested in. EA's output this gen hasn't been worth it.

I got a year for something like £13 and my intention is to play the Need for speed I missed and try out NHL for the first time in 25 years. With the next NHL likely to be identical for the non-fan and no NFS on the horizon I suspect it will be a 1 year thing.

BFV is great, all the DLC too.

 

Anthem imo isn't worth anyone's time. I found it utterly uninspiring and completely boring.

 

Start in town, run to person, talk, chose 1 or 2 options that don't mean amount to anything anyway, run to Mech, watch loading screen for 4 minutes, launch in Mech in a lush albeit contained landscape, fly off, kill 1 of 4 type of creature/humanoid, maybe fight mini boss, wait for timer to run down, back at town, run back to person, mission complete, earn some rep. Press Options, Close Application. Options again, Delete, forget this ever happened and play a good fun game.

 

I'd hoped for Destiny in a Mech, but its nothing like it.
